Hugh Jackman Wows In Impressive Workout Video While Training For 'Deadpool 3'

The actor showed off his ripped physique on Instagram while pumping iron to stay in shape for his reprisal as Wolverine in 'Deadpool 3.'

Hugh Jackman stunned fans who watched him pump iron in a gym workout video that he recently posted on Instagram.

The 55-year-old Emmy, Grammy, and Tony-winning actor is gearing up to reprise his role as Wolverine for the upcoming third sequel to Marvel's Deadpool movie.


The Australian muscle stud gave fans a glimpse into his workout regimen, leaving social media viewers parched and in awe of his physique and sheer determination.

In a video accompanied by Gary Glitter's "Rock & Roll, Pt. 2, " Jackman was seated on a workout bench in a navy tank top and black shorts as he slowly executed controlled bicep curls.

His shoulder veins were bulging, much in the vein of his mutant superhero character.

The video demonstrated that it takes discipline to achieve an almighty and powerful appearance, as you can see here.


Jackman hinted at the strict gym schedule by captioning the post with:

"No days off - except for tomorrow."

The hashtag #becomingwolverineagain was preceded by a flexed bicep emoji.

Fans cheered on their favorite superhero.

Jackman earned the distinction of having the "longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero'" after suiting up for the first time in Bryan Singer's X-Men in 2000, which was his Hollywood breakthrough.

He reprised the character in 2003's X2, 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, and the 2009 prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and in cameos in 2011's X-Men: First Class.

In 2013, he revisited the hirsute hero in the standalone film The Wolverine, followed by the 2014 sequel X-Men: Days of Future Past, and again, briefly, in the 2016 follow-up film X-Men: Apocalypse.

He also appeared as a photo cameo in 2016's Deadpool and in archival video footage in 2018's Deadpool 2.

The last time moviegoers saw Jackman as Wolverine was in The Wolverine sequel, 2017's Logan, which the actor announced would be the last time he would play the role.

It made sense at the time given his character's epic death scene in the film. However, because the events in that film took place in 2029, different timelines featuring a very-much-alive Wolverine allow for many more appearance opportunities.

While we don't know details about how Wolverine will be teaming up with Ryan Reynold's title character in the yet-to-be-named Deadpool 3, Jackman said on the Jess Cagle Show on SiriusXM that Wolverine will exist in a different timeline for the threequel, one in which he is still alive.

Said Jackman:

"It's all because of this device they have in the Marvel world of moving around timelines."
"Now we can go back because, you know, it's science [flashes airquotes]."
"So, I don't have to screw with the Logan timeline, which was important to me. And I think probably to the fans too."

Deadpool 3 will hit theaters this summer on July 26.

We'll be there, pumped and ready, just like him.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
